cheaper supplier for pink glitter vinyl please?
Posted by Micheal Donnellan on 5 July 2006 at 11:47customer wants pink glitter vinyl for some text on a sunstrip and logos on the side of his girlfriends Subaru. The colour was picked from the KPMF swatch book. K75051 I was quoted at €38 a mtr and min of 10mtrs with tax and rest comes to €467.80 for the vinyl alone. If I was sure I was going to sell more of that colour I could buy the vinyl and make the cost back. But I need a only a metre or two, anyone know a cheaper supplier of this vinyl or something similar.

here i go again… :lol1: i have forgotten this suppliers name god knows many times in the past 12 months. 😳 :lol1:
the cheapest by far has to be the uk supplier of the cuburn vinyl. i bought loads of mirror in various colours and got a great price. it wasnt the crappy stuff sold by many either. sorry.. if the name comes to me ill repost…
there is also a company called http://www.holographicvinyl.co.uk/ that does this stuff also…

I think the supplier for Coburn is Doro tape. I dont think it is suitable for use on a windscreen though, its more like a foil than vinyl, and unless it has changed since I last used it, it is very short term,

if its applied onto vinyl it should be fine peter… for some reason it really helps the polester type films adhere, not curl etc if applied onto another vinyls.
DORO isnt who i was thinking on and im pretty sure they arent the distributor for coburn, but i could be wrong of course. the reason i say that is we buy in a fair bit from the states, but had to switch to germany, shortly after coburn in germany asked us to deal with their uk sales office. that then switched to the supplier that i forget the name of… but definately wasnt doro. ( did i just go right round in a circle there? 😳 confusing myself now :lol1:
the stuff i am talking about is a high sparkle type film rather than a metalic polyester foil film. i am sure its made in same way as the normal metalics and not a foil. -

Bet they have it here:

(just teasing)
I’ve never used metallic or glitter as a window banner, will it last?
Does Oracal have anything?

Doro do stock it dont know if they are the main distributor though,

They and Coburn, also reccomend edge sealing. I was talking about the color stability when saying short term, I see now they offer a long term version. I saw some "glitter" at signuk, as you say it was more like a high metalic, but cant remember who did it may have been vinyl corporation?Peter

it’s coburn foils i use,
the (metalised) mirror chrome, mirror gold, machine turned, brushed effect, and rainbow, are all 5yr ext with proper glue !
i think it’s them that also do a range of metalflakes with a 3yr ext life, i’ve nt got the swatch card so can’t recall.
i know my suppliers ‘list price’ is between £9 and £14 pm for up to 10mtr of the 5yr materials,
,
the metalflake is less. about £6pm i think.personaly i’ve found the coburn metalised films fine to work with, a little tricky to weed, on occasion, but easier than weeding reflective !

KPMF K75051 is a 10 year cast vinyl. That probable explains the cost of the stuff. I am thinking of not showing the KPMF colour book to anyone again, as its expensive stuff.
some info on the stuff http://www.kpmf.com/pdfs/K75000%20Cast%20Glitter%20Film%20issue%205.pdf
Some of the other stuff is too holographic and not quite what I am looking for.
